Solution: ktMINE offers millions of data points to assess the availability of comparable transactions to support intercompany analyses.

Implication: Failing to search for comparable royalty rates or market rates can negatively impact the reliability of transfer pricing analyses and cause an increase in potential tax adjustments.

Independent Party Transaction Structures

Issue: As outlined in the BEPS Guidelines, it is no longer sufficient to only benchmark the actual price of a transaction. Practitioners must also research the structure of comparable independent party transactions.

ktMINE collects, organizes, and links intangible datasets, saving consultants valuable time and money. With ktMINE, easily gain insight into the intangibles of a company, relevant independent party transaction structures and comparable rates, all while creating the necessary documentation to defend your analyses.
